I am a printer by trade, and where I work, we are printing a magazine titled "Undying Monsters", a fan magazine for monster movie lovers. In one article about the film, "The Thing", it states that Disney went to a screening of the film to take a look at Arness to possibly play Davey Crocket. But they took a liking to Fess Parker, the crazy Texan pilot, instead. Interesting tidbit, I think. Can you picture Arness as Davey Crocket?

I was sad to read that they weren't friends in real life.
I've got a bunch of books about Duke and have never read in any of them the Duke and Arness were not friends. Where did you come up with this tidbit?
